I thought this property was very quaint and although some areas have wear and tear, the food and staff and size of rooms was a definitely plus. Loved the size of the property and the location.

Our room was very nice with a lovely view of the sea and we could enjoy the stunning sunsets every night
The dinners and service at the hotel were also excellent and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
Beautiful property and courteous staff! We sorely enjoyed our 1 week vacation! The hotel is well situated, quiet and relaxing place. The ocean is beautiful, nice access to pools. The property is very well managed, great food and water sport options. Do not fall for the bad reviews!

Great beach and snorkeling. Great staff and service. Lots of available water activities. Ok food. The buildings, decks and pools were very tired but they are closing in July for a complete renovation- looking forward to seeing end result
Great friendly service and a nice location. We had a great time under the sun. This is a sister property of four or five resorts, getting the water taxi to explore other all inclusive sister resorts ia amazing. The water toys are also very nice.
The reception, bar, dining and beach staff were all naturally friendly and full of Caribbean joy. Special mention must be made of Mikaela and Astrid in reception Well Done !!! The 3 bar girls by the pool for the delicious drinks and tons of laughter. Thanks Ether for the fantastic breakfasts and your bright morning smiles. Our room was heavenly comfortable and clean, food for good...Iralian dinner in Positano's was outstanding. 5 out of 5 rating for our vacation Thanks Tamarind !!

Staff were good for most part however some staff were extremely unfriendly and almost rude . It’s a shame because some were excellent. One restaurant is a negative and the same foods at breakfast everyday get a little boring.

Beautiful location
Beautiful location, friendly staff and decent food overall. Our first room was very outdated, AC was making loud whistling sound and toilet was leaking onto bathroom floor. We notified front desk and it was taken care of the next day. Antonia the manager came and found us and said she was aware of the problems and they were going to move us to an upgraded room. The next room was as good as the first room was bad. Much better view, amenities,overall comfort. Very thankful that they took care of us. Free water sports are a definite plus and the beach swimming area is very nice and safe, pools are nice. Overall the food was good but not great. We are vegetarian and our options were completely limited and lacking unless we ate the buffet, which was pretty good. The drinks were good and all included. All the servers were very attentive and sweet. The woman making omelets is a joy! The sister restaurants-Positano and Shiso at the Waves were excellent and I highly recommend eating at the other properties. Water taxi is free during the day but you have to take taxis after 4 pm. Taxis are pretty pricey but if you’re adventurous take the bus it’s only 3.60 Barbados! My only suggestion is that concierges we spoke to were not that knowledgeable and had to look up answers to any questions we had. One last thing the Wifi is pretty bad, but I hate to complain about overall lovely experience!
It was a great experience. We stayed one night but got a free upgrade! The staff was amazing; both friendly and courteous. We couldn't ask for a better experience, I only wish we could have stayed one more night!
Enjoyed the wide varieties. Staff was excellent. The 2 Christopher's at the bar were great. Kernoll the waitress was always friendly n made us feel so comfortable as well of the rest of the staff. Been in barbados 6 times, first time here n it was a pleasant surprise.
Made to feel welcome from the minute I arrived. The property is lovely, the staff excellent and efficient and the food was good. I had a wonderful week and will come back here. My only suggestion - put a USB port in the rooms please!
The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was spacious and very comfortable. I liked the three different pools and there were always enough lounge chairs to relax in. The cocktails were delicious and there were different food options daily which was great. I was only disappointed that I didn’t get to go to the spa during my stay as I couldn’t get through to them on the phone.
I would definitely stay again, for longer.
